Listener Reviews & Comments
Kenny Rankin sings the jazz of rainy Sundays by an open fire. His intimate and highly personal style is no better exemplified than on this set, "Professional Dreamer". In many ways it's a departure from his usual repertoire as it consists entirely of classics from the 1940s and 50s. These offerings reflect the musical values of another era - elegant and genteel songs from a time when melody lines were strong and lyrics dripped with intelligent emotion. These compositions lend themselves perfectly to Rankinesque interpretation The standout cut "But Not for Me" ripples with a soft Latin undercurrent. Rankin's vocal improvisations are gentle and deliberate as they paint a soul-sad portrait of someone love has overlooked. Gershwin's beautiful "Our Love is Here to Stay" is another highlight of this very classy set. So too is the cheeky and whimsical "I've Got a Crush on You" and the ultra-evocative "The Very Thought of You". It's all exquisite grist for a very tender mill. An album for the ages - FIVE STARS for Kenny and the jazz of rainy Sundays.
